Increasing your physical activity & keeping active

Small changes can make a big difference to start with and give you a great foundation to build on.

A top tip to keep you motivated is to have an exercise buddy. If someone else is doing it with you, you’re less likely to cancel or talk yourself out of doing it so find out who also wants to get fit and make it happen!

Your local leisure centre may also offer some initiatives such as free exercise classes or free swimming on certain days of the week.
